Forget about your worries and your strife – you've not got déjà vu – the idea that Disney recycle scenes has floated around for years.

But have you ever noticed that The Jungle Book and Robin Hood are strikingly similar?

Despite The Jungle Book coming out in 1967 and Robin Hood being released in 1973, historically and chronologically, Robin Hood would have actually happened in time before The Jungle Book – just look at the clothes.

So with all the parallels between the two Disney films – is The Jungle Book actually a sequel to Robin Hood?

Let's start with the vulture from Robin Hood – who was so sick and tired of being bossed around by the Sheriff of Nottingham that when Prince John was dethroned, we can only assume he flew away to join a singing quartet in the Jungle...

He just looks a little older (and perhaps wiser)...

Remember Prince John's henchman Sir Hiss?

At the end of Robin Hood, Hiss goes to jail but after serving his time, perhaps he left England to go back to where he came from – the jungle?

And if so, what with him having the same hypnotic powers as Kaa in the Jungle Book, are they actually just the same snake?

Similar to Hiss transforming into Kaa, Little John could have changed his name to Baloo in a bid to start a new life in the Jungle.

There's no hiding that distinctive dance...

After all, when your BFF leaves you for Maid Marion, what other choice do you have?

According to Floyd Norman who worked on a number of Disney films including The Jungle Book and Robin Hood, scene recycling is all about "playing it safe".

Talking to geekdad.com, he said: "It's actually harder and takes longer to redraw an existing sequence.

"It's a lot faster and easier to just do new animation, and it's a lot more fun for the animators.

"But [director] Woolie [Reitherman] liked to play it safe and use stuff he knew would work. That's all it was."
